I had fond memories of family road trips as a kid. I remember being crammed into the backseat of the family car with my brother and venturing to new destinations while crossing my fingers the entire trip that he didn’t get sick on me as the car lulled back and forth.

Phew. What did I learn along the way? Plenty.
